What happened?

I have 2 PCs behind a physical KVM. I use the KVM to switch a central screen (of 3) and the keyboard and mouse. I use barrier when working on one machine and need to fiddle on something on the third. When I shut down the machine with the server I forgot to also shutdown barrier. The result was that the client mouse cursor was hidden and shutting down barrier keeps the mouse cursor hidden.

Steps To Reproduce:

set up environment with 2 machines, one server one client
shutdown the server; make sure that shared mouse cursor was on the server machine

Observation: the mouse cursor on the client machine is hidden, but with a physically connected mouse it clearly can be seen the cursor moving around

stop the barrier client on the "client" machine.

Observation: the mouse cursor remains hidden even after barrier client is stopped

Expected: when the client either looses connection and especially when stopping down the barrier client the cursor should be made visible again.
